Redo aortic valve surgery: Influence of prosthetic valve endocarditis on outcomes
Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2011 ObjectiveCompared with reoperative aortic valve replacement for nonendocarditic causes, the contemporary risk and long-term outcomes of reoperation for aortic prosthetic valve endocarditis are ill-defined.MethodsBetween December 1994 and April 2008, 313 ...

Prosthetic valve endocarditis is an infrequent but serious complication of valve surgery. It occurred in 25 (3.2%) of 772 patients who received aortic, mitral or double valve replacement in 1971-1987. The total follow-up time was 3,976 patient years, giving an incidence of 0.63/100 patient years.

Prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) is associated with a high mortality during the early and midterm follow-up despite diagnostic and therapeutic improvements; its incidence is increasing and reaches 20-30% of all infective endocarditis episodes. In this review, changes in epidemiology, microbiology, diagnosis and therapy that have evolved in the past ...

About 2% of patients with a prosthetic valve will develop endocarditis. This may occur within a few weeks of the valve replacement operation (early) or many months or years later (late). The infecting organisms, pathogenicity and prognosis differ in the two groups.

From January 1963 until January 1974, 45 patients had prosthetic valve endocarditis. Symptoms of prosthetic valve endocarditis developed within 2 months after operation (early onset) in 16 patients (36%) and more than 2 months after operation (late onset) in 29 patients (64%).

Mycobacterial Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis
Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2010Prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) due to mycobacteria is a rare but frequently fatal complication that may occur early after the surgical procedure, or even years later. Infection has been described with both mechanical and biologic valvular prosthesis. The most commonly implicated mycobacterial species belong to the rapid-grower group (M.

Anticoagulation in Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis
Southern Medical Journal, 1983We reviewed the experience with infective endocarditis at some major US Army Medical Centers. One hundred patients were studied, comparing 82 patients who had native valve endocarditis (NVE) with 18 patients who had prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE). Among patients with PVE, four had porcine valves and 14 had synthetic.

Late prosthetic valve endocarditis
European Heart Journal, 1984A report is given of 13 patients with late prosthetic valve endocarditis (1975-1982). Follow-up ranged from 1 to 8 years (mean 33 months). Causative organisms were streptococci in 8 cases, staphylococci in 2, and Cardiobacterium hominis in 1. Cultures were negative in 2. Surgical treatment in the acute phase was performed in 3 patients.

Bacterial endocarditis is a serious complication of valve replacement, with an overall mortality of 59%. Fever, although a constant feature of the condition, is a nonspecific finding; other manifestations may or may not be present and the diagnosis may be overlooked.
